Living a Vegan Life and Eating Only Plants
They Are Here With Us, Not For Us! Other animals exist for their own purposes, not ours. All animals, including those who live on land, in trees and air, and on and in water, feel pain, pleasure, and emotions, have families and friends, and want to live good and happy lives. Be kind to all animals, including humans. Care for and respect them and their desire to live lives free from harm. Do not kill, eat, enslave, experiment on, or wear the skin, fur, hair, wool, or feathers of any animals or steal their babies, milk, or eggs.
